FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing isn't " complicated". I do vary the pricing to help people sometimes. It seems the most type of billing system I use is "T &M". I charge by the hour and offer "RECEIPT" Service. This means I turn the receipts over to the client. ****** I do not do this for large industrial contracts. The reason for this is; the material is already super exspencive, and alot of the time its heavy and ( Takes labor hours to move this material around a plant). I do lots of residential work and this is where I can give breaks. So if you see on my page where I charge up to $150/hour--->>> thats Labor and Material for large insdustial plants or $85-90 an hour plus material. I also use the by the "opening" billing. The "opening" is an outlet, switch, a light etc. I normally charge $85-100( this is for new construction and this is labor and material. Service calls vary on a case by case basis. For "service" upgrades: 100A=$1,100-1,300.. 200A=$3,100-3,500.. 400A=$12,000-14,000.. Please keep in mind these are rough numbers( they can go up or down. The material for a 100A service ususally runs $800-850( no mark-up), 200A material runs close to $2000 and double the work, 400A service material runs close to $8000 and it requires multiple men and time. Those material prices are exactly what I would have to pay a supply house or Home Depot. With a 200A and 400A "service upgrades", it normally can't be done by just 1 person( at least not in one day). I hope this sheds some light on my pricing system. I won't include information for contract work, for info on "contract" work, please contact me to set up a meeting.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Every year I take a "refresher" course. I also take courses at ITT for Electronics. I am tring to broaden my scope in my trade. I also do lots of reading to keep abreast of new equipment, material and systems.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Being an electrician and now an Electrical Contractor is something I have always wanted to do. I have a chance to provide power to people everywhere. I also know that not everyone can do what I do. its also pretty cool to see an entire project go from a print to a working and producing system of controls and electricity( such as a new conveyorsystem at Coke Cola or Fed Ex.
